A Former Clinton Advisor Is Warning Democrats About the Looming Communist Takeover
Progressive policy ambitions meet practical realities as Americans weigh costs and consequences.
When a former Clinton advisor starts sounding like a guy who reads our newsletter, you know something's shifted. Al Mottur didn't stumble into this warning by accident. He was inside the Democratic machine, close enough to the Clintons to know how the party actually thinks about power, and now he's telling his own side that the DSA isn't some fringe curiosity anymore.

While Republicans, including Speaker Mike Johnson, are warning Americans about the dangers of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), it seems few Democrats are making the same statements publicly.
But Al Mottur, a former advisor to Hillary Clinton, is warning his fellow Democrats of the socialist takeover.

When a former Clinton advisor starts sounding like a guy who reads our newsletter, you know something's shifted. Al Mottur didn't stumble into this warning by accident. He was inside the Democratic machine, close enough to the Clintons to know how the party actually thinks about power, and now he's telling his own side that the DSA isn't some fringe curiosity anymore. That's not a Fox News talking point. That's an insider watching the wiring in his own house start to smoke.
What's telling is the silence around him. Mike Johnson and other Republicans have been saying this loudly for a while now, and the usual response has been to wave it off as partisan noise. But when the warning comes from a guy who spent his career helping Democrats win elections, it's harder to dismiss as manufactured outrage. Mottur isn't running for anything. He's not selling a book tour. He's just watching a movement inside his own coalition that used to be an asterisk turn into something with real votes, real candidates, and real committee seats.
The Democratic Party has spent years treating the DSA wing as a useful ally to court during primaries and a nuisance to manage during general elections. That balancing act only works if the wing stays small. It hasn't. Mamdani-style candidates aren't outliers anymore, they're a pipeline. Mottur seems to understand that pretending otherwise is how a party wakes up one day and finds it doesn't recognize itself.
We've been saying this for a long time, not because we think every Democrat is a secret radical, but because the numbers and the candidates keep proving the point. It shouldn't take a former Clinton hand breaking ranks for people to notice. But if that's what it takes to get a real conversation started on the left, fine. Better late than never.
